Yes, I am happy because spring is finally here. It’s time to
check out the trends and crochet lacy tops to layer over the boudoir style cami
dresses and spaghetti straps tops.

But…until we discuss the adult approach of this particular
chart based pattern I must mention that
I am very fond of the child ( toddler to school age) version of this versatile
top.

I am planning to start this top for my little 4 year old in
a related color. She will wear it over a summer dress, or a tank top , or even
on top of a fitted shirt with skinny jeans ( Yes I have a miniature fashionista
on my hands)

So …about the adult version.
I would personally like one green for myself with a larger neck opening
, more loose fit to match that “cold shoulder “ trend we see all over the
streets this spring.

So without further
talk:

Slip stitch on top of the chain clusters ( 2 to 6 ch
clusters depending on your measurement – I am size 38 European so I’ll skip 4).
Work the *flower* row and stop between the same number of ch clusters on the
other side.

Continue working the sequence until shaping the neck opening
( 2 -3 more sequences)

To shape the neck opening
-work a flower on each edge(shoulders)
and slst for the middle section of the back .

This is how you should read the chart for the back.

Here comes the challenge 1: following the exact same
sequence follow the front chart and work it the exact same way ( shape the neck
opening as you desire- the chart offers a wide neck opening while the finished piece
follows the same neck opening for the front as for the back).

Challenge 2:

When you have the chart ( diagram) stitches explained all
you need is follow the chart.

So using the same sequence work the sleeves ( the chart is
pretty exact).

Join the back and the front using a tapestry needle.

Add the sleeves.

Finish the garment working 2 rows of hdc on the neck opening and sleeve cuffs.

The top is done J

Yes , this is not a complete pattern…but a lesson on how to
work a crochet piece using a comprehensive chart.

The purpose of this blog remains the same : teaching you to
crochet the easiest way possible using any source available to create
remarkable pieces that will be trendy forever.

I hope you like this post and consider applying this lesson
to create a stunning lacy top for this spring.
